Artist's Description

every couple of months I head out of town and go and stay with a dear friend up in the Hunter Valley…… it’s a stunningly beautiful area and I never tire of photographing the landscape there. My friends live on the crest of a hill that rims a series of very dreamy misty valleys and there are many flooded creeks and little lakes to be found all around this lovely place.

My favorite place in this chain of valleys is a tiny little hidden lake with a nautral sandstone grotto at its head and a minute island in the centre of it. The lake is only around 20 odd metres in length and the island is only big enough for two trees but it’s beauty is staggering. It’s like an ancient holy place and to just stand by the shoreline is a form of meditation.

I have no idea if it has a proper name or not being so small but from the first time I saw it …. I’ve called it Genevieve’s Lake….. and the swirly misty magic of the landscape takes me away into other dimensions…… no perfidious Albian here….. just a faint lingering sense of the Lady of the Lake……

thanks Helen….. in a funny way it’s the atmosphere that emanates from this little lake that makes it so special…. it’s almost tangible like it’s sitting on a ley line or something….it’s almost like a energetically charged vibration comes from the lake itself….hard to explain but it can put shivers up my spine just sitting there ……a very special place indeed….. I’ve photograhed it loads of times over the years but nothing I’ve shot comes even close to the magical mysterious feel of the place…… who knows maybe you’ll see it some day…..:)

hi Roybarry…. and wow thanks… I hesitated to post this as it’s just not as magical as the real place…. but then I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to do it justice…… thanks for your lovely words you……:)
